Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) I think possibly I would go with somebody like Nietzsche. Somebody who was really a philosopher, a good advisor, a guider… But I would probably fight with him nonstop.
Robb Stark (Richard Madden) - My dad is pretty smart. I think he’d have my back. Yeah, keep it in the family. I’d put my dad there and keep an eye on what he’s doing.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington) - I’d have my brother Jack probably. He probably would try to steal the throne from me actually, but I think if anyone’s going to try to steal it off of me, I’d want it to be him. And he’s an inherently a good person so I think he’d rule the kingdoms quite well.
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) - I would have to pick my mom because she gives me good advice all the time, as I’m growing up. I think she’s been a brilliant Hand of the Queen.
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) - I’d want someone funny, someone a bit like Bronn, a comedian maybe. I really like Lee Evans actually. He’s kind of my same humor and does a lot of impressions that are funny, so yeah, probably Lee Evans.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) - If I were on the Iron Throne and I had to choose a Hand, I would want Tyrion. He seems to have every angle covered. But assuming I can’t have a Westerosi character, I would choose Sigmund Freud. He could get to work on Joffrey and Cersei’s complex relationship, and I would get Joffrey an electric guitar and lessons from Metallica as he needs to channel his blistering fury into something less psychopathic.
Jaime Lannister (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau) - If I were on the Iron Throne, I’d call my sister and say, “You want to be queen?”
Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony) - I’d like to first point out that I’ve never sat on the Iron Throne set or otherwise. But if I were to sit on it, I would choose my best mate Don, who when I was at school, we were in prefects together. And he was a wonderful, wonderful right-hand man. I think he’d be brilliant at it.
Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) - It would be Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger, definitely. You know not to trust him, but he’d be a brilliant operator for you.
Ygritte (Rose Leslie) - The novelist Georgette Heyer wrote my favorite book, These Old Shades. In the book, there’s a character called the Duke of Avon. He’s a seriously cool character, very slick. I think I’d have to go for him. I love him. I love reading that book over and over.
Gendry (Joe Dempsie) - I would pick legendary soccer manager Brian Clough who managed a football team that I support in the late ’70s and ’80s. He was quite a character and took no prisoners. One of his most famous quotes was when someone asked him if he as the best manager in the country. He said, “I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the country, but I’m in the Top 1.” Michael Sheen played him in a film years ago called The Damned United.
Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon) - If I could choose somebody to be my Hand to the King it would probably be, if he were alive, Peter Sellers. There you go. Peter Sellers, before he did Dr. Strangelove and went insane.
Irri (Amrita Acharia) - I was thinking of a superhero. Let’s have Wonder Woman. She’d be by my side, she’d be my mentor, why not?
Note: I have no idea why TV Guide paired Wonder Woman with a pic of Peter Dinklage. It should be with this gorgeous woman:
UGUISE, check out this TV Guide interview with Sophie Turner:
On Sunday’s episode (9/8c, HBO), the epic Battle of the Blackwater will take place between the forces of those loyal to Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) and those loyal to his uncle, Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane). As the men wage war outside, Sansa is left inside to deal with another type of challenge. “She’s at Maegor’s Holdfast while the battle is going on,” Turner says. “She’s strong, and I think she’s quite strong-willed, but she’s also incredibly frightened. I can tell you that you’ll see sides to Sansa that would seem very queen-like. She takes quite a leadership role.”
I am struggling to can.
Wait there’s more:
How does Sansa cope, being all alone? Where is she getting her strength, and what is she doing to make it bearable?
Sophie Turner:I think she gets strength from thinking how her mother and father would cope. She also thinks of her sister Arya because Arya is so strong, and she would usually fight back. We never really saw it last season, but we’re seeing it now.There’s that horrifying scene where Joffrey is pointing a crossbow at Sansa. What was that scene like? Was it tense to do?
Turner: It was quite intense. But I really, really enjoyed it. Jack was so lovely, and Peter [Dinklage] was so lovely. Everyone was lovely on set. So it was kind of easy. But when the cameras start rolling, it has a very tense atmosphere about it.We have heard how completely opposite that Jack is from his character, Joffrey.
Turner:Yes. He’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met, and I can’t stress it enough to the fans of the show because I’m scared people are going to come up to him and say horrible things to him. They shouldn’t because he’s lovely.What are Sansa’s feelings towards Joffrey’s mother Cersei (Lena Headey) now?
Turner:It’s quite a bizarre relationship because at first she kind of felt Cersei was a second mother until … she realizes that the Baratheons and the Lannisters aren’t all they seem to be. And now she really hates Cersei, but … she can’t help feeling that Cersei has been through this before, because she went through the exact same thing withKing Robert. Although he wasn’t as bad with Cersei as Joffrey is with Sansa. But they’ve got something in common, and they’ve got some sort of connection.There’s also a little bit of a heart-to-heart that Cersei and Sansa had. Do you think that sort of changed how she felt about her?
Turner: I think definitely that was kind of the turning point in their relationship because Sansa’s always kind of loathed Cersei for what she’s done, keeping her prisoner. And then you see kind of a bit of humanity in Cersei that we’ve never really seen before.Even though Sansa seems to sort of get that she has a role she’s supposed to play, every now and then she shows bits of rebellion. Does she have a death wish?
Turner:It’s arguable! [Laughs] No, I think that for a 13-year-old girl to be held prisoner by the people who killed her father - it’s a very horrible situation to be in. She tries her best to fool the prince and fool everyone around her, but you can see in some of the scenes that she isn’t hiding it perhaps as well as she was initially. Because she just can’t really bear it any more.There also seems to be sort of a complicated relationship between Sansa and The Hound (Rory McCann). Can you describe what’s going on there?
Turner:Well, I think it kind of mirrors Sansa and Cersei in the way that The Hound has been a victim of bullying by his older brother. And that kind of mirrors Sansa’s story line with Joffrey. And so he feels very protective of her, I think, and he doesn’t want anything like what happened to him to happen to Sansa, because she’s still very vulnerable in terms of physicality.How then, does she regard Tyrion (Peter Dinklage)? He’s one of those horrible Lannisters, but he did help her when Joffrey was abusing her.
Turner:Tyrion does care for Sansa although Sansa knows she has to be very, very wary. Her main focus is to stay alive, to survive to see her family again, and I don’t think she’s willing to trust anyone at this point except for her maid Shae (Sibel Kekilli). Which is quite ironic, because she’s not actually who she says she is. She’s Tyrion’s whore.In the first season, many fans of the series disliked Sansa because she was blind to Joffrey’s manipulation and sided against her own family. Do you believe Sansa is more sympathetic this season?
Turner:Hopefully the responses will be a lot better this time, because she’s not making the mistakes that she made last time. I don’t think she’s done anything wrong at the moment. She’s just trying to survive - that’s all she’s doing. And so hopefully the fans will like her a bit more this season. I don’t get recognized that often. But they’ve been fairly nice to me. They don’t talk about my character. Because I was expecting a lot of “I hate you”s. But that never really came around. They’re very polite.
